Effects of a Single-bout of Moderate-intensity Aerobic Exercise on Mood and Mental Health Biomarkers in Adults with Depressive And/or Anxiety Symptoms

Thirty minutes of exercise on a treadmill, including a 5-minute warm-up followed by increments in speed until reaching optimal moderate to high intensity (60-80% of age-predicted maximal heart rate), which will be maintained for 20 min, followed by a 5-minute cool-down. Age-predicted maximal HR will be defined as 220 beats-per-minute (BPM) minus age in years.
